Feedback… of course… where was your head at? Feedback is so important for us to truly gain a sense of who we are, by validating our view of self through others.

You see I used to look in my mirror and see Snow White. I saw myself as a results-oriented hard worker; a people-person who was fun to be around. What I didn’t see was how others viewed me. To them I was obsessed with work and winning; aggressively task-oriented through driving people; and as for fun, it was on my terms only.

So for many of us, we stay within our comfort zones to avoid stress and unknown responses and behaviours to an unknown environment. The anxiety of the unknown is just too scary for some of us to step outside our comfort zones. So why do we limit ourselves in this way?
